Over the last three regular season, the Warriors have combined to win 207 games, and 44 postseason games.

Cavaliers Need to Find Groove

The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking for answers. Sure, it was just one loss, but Cleveland was not competitive in the second half of the game. The Cavaliers rolled through the Eastern Conference with just one loss. The Cavaliers are on the road, a place they did not fare well during the regular season.

Warriors Win Again

The Warriors offense just flows from the beginning. Look for the Warriors to start scoring early and never look back. When you are betting on this game, take the Golden State Warriors -8 over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
